Odd,only four dates spread over one week. Points to scheduling the second leg of North America (after Skin Tyson has finished his ‘Cast’ commitments). Planty has already hinted at second leg US/Canada dates later into Autumn.
Of course I’d love to think it’s because Robert has a date with Jimmy,JPJ & Jason be we all know that ‘ain’t the case !

Well he seems to have a history of cancelling, at least one, tour in the past. In the late 90s he cancelled the last Page and Plant tour. He basically said he didn’t want to miss any more English springs. No judgement. But I’m pretty sure Page was not happy with the decision.

Do any of you realize how hard a tour is on a 30something year old let alone a 70 year old? Most of us would be crying for our beds and the comforts of home and family after a week on the road. Imagine 50 years? Hush! I am the #1 Zeppelin fan on this planet but Robert has earned his right to call his musical life. Enjoy what we’re given. Peace!

So that’ll explain why Robert (69 still),left just 3 weeks between the end of the U.S your,and the start of the Match Australian dates.At his own pace ? More like ‘Non-stop go’ more like (especially with UK/Europe following on after Australia.
Needs to take it a little easier – thinking of poor Tom Petty’s punishing schedule last year. Peace !

While I won’t hold my breath or even dare to dream of all the wonderful possibilities of a significant moment of recognition, August is the official month they got together after the final Yardbirds gig in July 68. So…maybe Robert will actually make a nod to the significance of the 50th? What would be the “official” or even unofficial date Zep was born? I say that first rehearsal. But some could say it is Sept 7th, the 1st show. So did he realize about August? and thus cxl his tour to do something Zeppish? Every interview says otherwise but…we can hope. C’mon Mr Plant 50 is special
